Violence perpetrated by Israeli authorities against Palestinian civilians in Sheikh Jarrah

Early day motion 3A1, tabled 13 May 2021 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 3 members.

Leave out from ‘the’ in Line 1 and insert, ‘firing of more than 1,600 rockets by the Hamas terror group into Israel since 10 May 2021; supports Her Majesty’s Government assertion of Israel’s right to self-defence to protect its citizens from indiscriminate rocket attacks and condemnation of Hamas; notes that Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system has saved the lives of countless Israeli civilians; calls for Gaza-based terror groups to immediately halt rocket fire against Israel; notes the tragic death of 6 Israelis and a number of Palestinian civilians in Gaza; condemns Hamas’s cynical locating of terror infrastructure and launching of rockets in civilian areas; and calls for a peaceful resolution to the violence and the resumption of direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to secure a negotiated, lasting two-state solution’.
